| Travel Meditations | Many questions arise simply because man lets himself be enticed into the domain where questions lie, instead of keeping firmly to the domain of certainty, If a man is confused by something, he should first of all come back to the certainty that it is not this world as such which is important, but the next world, and above all that God is Reality; and he should say to himself: in the face of this truth, which in principle is the solution to all questions, this or that question just does not arise; it is enough if he has the Answer of answers. And then God will give him a light also for what is earthly and particular. | Studies in Comparative Religion - Vol. 14, Nos. 1 & 2 (Winter-Spring, 1978) | English | comparative-religion multiple | |
| The Three Dimensions of Sufism | “FEAR” (makhâfah), “Love” (mahabbah), “Knowledge” (tarîqah): In Sufism (tasawwuf ), these are the three dimensions or stations of the way (tarîqah); “dimensions” from the point of view of their vocational separation or from the point of view of their coincidence in every spiritual vocation, and “stations” from the point of view of their succession in spiritual development. | Studies in Comparative Religion, Vol. 10 No. 1.

Comprendre l’islam (Taschenbuch)
Die muslimische Welt ist nah und unbekannt zugleich. Sie beansprucht heute eine größere Rolle im Spiel der menschlichen Kräfte und fällt vor allem durch die kontingentesten Bilder von sich selbst auf, nämlich durch die Gewalt islamistischer Gruppen oder die Abwesenheit von Demokratie in muslimischen Ländern.

“Standing Unshakably in the True” – A Commentary on the Teachings of Frithjof Schuon
Frithjof Schuon’s work can be viewed as explorations of and elaborations upon four essential realities: the „a doctrine of Truth or Reality, and a method of Integration or Realization through Prayer leading to inner beauty or Virtue, or outer goodness or Beauty.“ Illustrations of Schuon’s thoughts on these is taken primarily from his didactic poems, adding the element of beauty of expression to the clarity of metaphyical exposition for which he was known.
